Özet

Ankara ve İstanbul'daki bir grup askerin Edinilmiş İmmün Yetmezlik Sendromu (AIDS) hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri ortaya çıkarmaya yönelik yapılan bu kesitsel çalışmaya, toplam 5651 asker arasından sistematik örneklem yöntemi ile seçilen 1129 asker dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, askerlerin, AIDS'in bulaşıcı bir hastalık olduğunu ve cinsel yolla bulaşabileceğini çok yüksek oranlarda bildikleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Diğer taraftan, aynı zamanda, AIDS'e yönelik risk grupları, tedavi ve korunma noktalarında ciddi eksiklikler ve yanlış inanışlara sahip oldukları da tespit edilmiş, bu bilgilerini çoğunlukla yazılı ve görsel medyadan edindikleri öğrenilmiştir. Askerlerin bu bilgi ve inanışlarına etki eden faktörler incelendiğinde, askerin kendisinin ve ebeveynlerinin öğrenim düzeyleri ile yaşanılan yerleşim biriminin önemli derecede etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
